Thrive Together
One on One Coaching
We all face challenges in life in the field; whether it’s navigating transitions, learning a language, raising support, managing long-distance relationships, adjusting to new roles, or thriving cross-culturally.
Having guidance and support from a coach can make a meaningful difference.
With the right help, we don’t just survive these challenges; we learn to thrive and emerge stronger.
Take the step today to grow personally or professionally in a confidential environment with a skilled coach.
Thrive Together is freely available to all missionaries. You do not need to be a member of Talent Trust to benefit from this service.

Are you ready to return home?

Feeling overwhelmed by everything?
Everything is unfamiliar: the tastes, sounds, and rhythms of life. It can be hard to know where you belong, and make it challenging to be effective in ministry.

How Coaching Works?
Coaching works because it brings out your best – what God put in! Specifically, this is what your coach will do during a coaching conversation:
- Listen. Your story is central. Coaches fully engage in what you are saying. They also listen to the Holy Spirit and encourage you to do the same.
- Ask questions. Coaches use questions to stimulate your thinking and creativity. Questions are about possibilities and the future.
- Encourage. Everyone needs encouragement, and usually we don’t get enough. Your coach will hold up your vision, your progress, and your efforts.
- Facilitate while letting you lead. Coaches facilitate your learning and problem-solving. Yet, they are never fully leading – you are, with your agenda and your approach.
Examples that motivate people to use a coach:
- To make significant changes
- To better deal with uncertainty
- To make better decisions
- To reach goals faster
- To improve relationships
- To become a better leader
- To reduce stress
- To address transitions in location and calling

Thrive Together is Free
We help missionaries be their best.
We believe the challenges of missions life can limit the impact of a global worker’s ministry. We provide missionaries with the resources to stay physically, mentally and financially healthy, so they can thrive as long as needed in their calling.
